No, I did not. But I conceived the notion that it is not a drinking song but a drinking game.

Beer is prove that God loves the common man, and it was for many years, it was England's salvation... for with out beer, the irish would have ruled the world.
Recalling the Bumper Sticker thread from a while back, one of my favorites is:
Guinness: gaelic for "genius."

Guinness is Dublin's dark secret.
BTW, I used to really love the old advert for G that involved that large-billed bird (no - not Sabrina!) with the slogan, "Guinness is good for you. Just think what Toucan do!"

Speaking of birds, here's another drinking word from Mrs. Byrne, although it doesn't mean to be drunk (sorry):
zythepsary n. -- a brewery. (And the study of fermentation from another source, I've forgotten which).
Dub...

Please forgive this tangent, but this really is not worth starting a new thread over:
I read in Mrs. Byrne that the fipple is the lower lip. That lower lip is at least tangentially involved in drinking, yes?
Anyway, if the fipple is the lower lip, then what, pray tell, is the upper lip?

Mrs. Byrne is a bit loose with her lip. the lower lip is called the underlip and the upper is called the overlip or uver lip. a fipple is a pendulous underlip, hanging down large and loose. that vertical groove in the middle of your overlip is called the philtrum. some mammals have a tumid (swollen/fat) upper lip, called a chiloma.

If one's lower lip is fipple, then the upper lip better be stiff.

an otherwise wwftd made memorable by the following:
I have a little philtrum,
Wherein my spilltrum flows,
When I am feeling illtrum
And running at the nose.
tsuwm, is the plural philtrums or philtra?
